Description This is the finished Claymore. The wood came from a discarded couch.
It now has been spray painted with three coats of Valspar Interior Brilliant Silver that I picked up at Micheal's Arts and Crafts. Now I'm not advertising just answering the inevitable question.
Up date Use Testors chrome lacquer it's a better paint.

Update saw a claymore by waynekaa ( ) [link] with all gold handle looked far better.

Materials used

Maple wood, Latex interior primer sealer
handle finish : suede leather

Dimensions

Total length: 71"
Blade: 48" X 5.25" X .25"
Handle: 30" X 15"
Handguard 16"wide.

Bonus here is the video link. [link]

As popular as this version is this really is the better version. [link]

inorite? Anyways, most impressive work keep it up :3 I am starting to learn this sort of thing with metal all though I am working more on armor than weapons. But I am eventually going to attempt to make Soul's scythe form as a prop.

That would be wild. I'm still pondering my next project. Among the contenders Rukia's unreleased Zampacto and a bat-leth.

fixinman In reply to Iolii [2009-10-29 02:50:45 +0000 UTC]

Actually this isn't a Celt claymore. It's actually a woman's sword from this series. [link] It's pretty good.

*jaw drop* amazing!! i hadnt thought i would live to see (well, online) that sword in 1:1 scale... its so perfect~ i dont think i'll be able to make this prop for clare. XD
*touches the sword*

fixinman In reply to akinomurasaki [2009-05-15 02:53:08 +0000 UTC]

To be honest it's not totally perfect. I made it too big. The problem with anime swords is that they keep changing what they look like.
As for you making it the big surprise for me was it actually is easier than it looks. The hard part is figuring out how to do it.
